In fact, the duel in naval warfare depends not only on technology, but also on luck.

You know, the sea is shaking. Under the current waves, the ship shakes more violently, and the slightest mistake is thousands of miles. The ship gun hits the shell more than ten nautical miles away. Even if it is more accurate, if the ship shakes at the moment when the shell comes out of the chamber, it must be biased.

Until later generations, with a bistable system, no matter how the warship shakes, the muzzle never moves, and the whole turret is stable. This is the only way. Now there is no such means at all.

Therefore, although the other party aims at himself, he may not be able to hit!

Can you step back at this time? Of course not! The captain of the Cornwall clenched his teeth and gave an order to his men: "prepare for volley!"

Cornwall is just an ordinary cruiser with weak armor, but its firepower is not weak. It has 8 MK Ⅷ 203 mm guns, which are sub installed in 4 MKI double turrets. The maximum range is more than 28 kilometers.

If you deal with the battleship, its firepower may not be fierce enough to tear the other party's turret armor, but it is absolutely no problem to deal with the German, because the German, like it, is also weak in armor protection.

The cannons of the Cornwall were also rotating rapidly, but before they turned around, they saw each other's cannons and roared again!

From the appearance, many British warships chased a German warship and beat it. However, German warships are not at a disadvantage. Now it is German warships attacking!

The 283mm naval gun on the German has a very fast firing rate of 3 rounds per minute!

(no specific information is available. Please inform us that only the 283mm SK L / 50 on the German Maoqi class Battlecruiser during World War I still used the horizontal sliding wedge bolt with a firing rate of 3 rounds per minute.)

After all, Germany was a defeated country in World War I. even in World War I, the German Navy did not surpass Britain in number, and there was no German warship for a long time after World War I.

Germany cannot make up for the gap in quantity. Therefore, we can only use another method. If the quantity is not enough and the quality is not enough, a German warship can fight with several British warships!

Now, the German Navy is relying on the performance of its own naval guns to compete with the British navy.

When it comes to fighting alone, it's a German, the main force of the British fleet, and when it comes to group fighting, it's a group of British Navy fighting a German.

Deutschland, fight bravely!

After the first hit, the second volley of the German had begun before the British fleet reacted!

"Boom, boom!" The two naval guns did not fire at the same time. The tail was a little slower. Six 283mm naval guns sent German revenge to the British Navy again!

"Full left rudder!" The captain of the Cornwall shouted that there was no artillery radar at present. He relied entirely on his personal experience to avoid the attack of the other party.

The more than 10000 ton hull of the Cornwall drew an arc on the sea. At this time, a wave came and even covered the capital of the ship. If it was just a huge wave coming from the right, it could even overturn the hull.

This arc was quite successful. You can see the other side's shell, across your own head, fell to the position just turned, splashed into the water and splashed several meters high.

"Click!" Just then, there was a loud noise overhead, and an armor piercing bullet passed over the mast and broke the mast directly.

Above the mast, the MI shaped Navy flag, which has been hunting in the wind, fell down with the broken mast, hit the bridge below, and floated past the eyes of everyone.

The falling of the flag is definitely an ominous sign, which has been a tradition of maritime powers for hundreds of years.

Everyone on the bridge of the Cornwall turned pale.

"Boom!" At this time, a violent explosion suddenly came from the bottom of the Cornwall. With the explosion, the whole hull gave a huge vibration.

"Torpedo, it's a torpedo. There are German submarines near us!" Shouted the captain.

He guessed exactly right, but it was too late.

If it's normal, it may be nothing if you get a torpedo. Just carry it hard, but now, it's in a big storm! If the structure of the ship is damaged, it will be completely damaged in the beating of the waves!

He guessed perfectly well.

With the explosion, the ship made a creaking sound, and then a terrible scream came from the lower level.

"No, our hull is cracked!"

"Come on, come on, let's not sink with the ship!"

A torpedo will destroy the Cornwall. In addition to the reasons for the waves, it is also related to the torpedo. This is the most advanced torpedo in Germany. It is powerful. G7u hydrogen peroxide torpedo code T11!

The u-47 submarine launched the torpedo. After it separated from the German, it continued to operate in this area. Prien was ecstatic when he found the British main fleet.

As a submarine soldier, killing the enemy's warships is their most desired record. In contrast, fighting civilian ships is really boring.

Prien didn't do it immediately. After all, there were too many warships in the British navy. He wanted to do it secretly, such as now.

When the naval gun shells flew by, the hydrogen peroxide torpedo also killed the Cornwall with a high speed of 48 knots, and successfully killed the Cornwall. It seems to the outside world that the Cornwall was destroyed by the German naval gun.

His submarine has not been exposed. As long as it has not been exposed, it is possible to continue sneaking attacks on the enemy.

Of course, this did not scare the British navy. They were also well-trained. Just after the second volley of the German, the counterattack from the British navy had arrived.

Of course, the British fleet would not watch the Deutschland keep gaining power, and they fired quickly!

"Boom!"

The Queen Elizabeth and Barham of Queen Elizabeth class, the Nelson of Nelson class and the R-class battleship "monarchy" have completed the loading, aiming and launched a salvo.

The main gun of "Nelson" is 406mm, while the other ships are 381mm. However, because they are in pursuit, they only have the main gun at the bow.

Even so, the firepower was extremely powerful. More than a dozen shells of large caliber naval guns flew to the German. As long as the German was hit by one, it would be seriously injured if it didn't die.

"Target, starboard, Southampton class light cruiser!" On the bridge, Colonel stanger was not afraid of the incoming shells. He continued to give battle orders.

Pick up those that can beat first!
